So I have this male guppy, Menma, and im about 92% sure he’s gay. He flares his fins and goes the little seizure mate dance thing to his fellow guppy men in the male tank. There was one male guppy, Nards, in particular that Menma followed around like a love struck puppy; no aggression no nips or any of the bully behavior I see between my other male guppies, just the two were constantly side by side leisurely going about the tank. Unfortunately Nards passed away a few months ago, and Menma hasn’t been as energetic since.
I’ve had Menma in the female tank for a little over a week now and he is so not interested in the ladies that it’s really funny. He stays as far away from them as possible. I typically find him sulking in an empty part of the tank, away from the ladies. The older female fry in the tank he doesn’t avoid, just the adult ladies. And this isn’t the first time I’ve tried to breed him… but he’s been just as uninterested as he is now.
He’s my very first fish, so he’s probably getting up there in age. I first got fish mid way through April, and he was still young enough that he didn’t have all his colors in yet. So he’s probably just over a year old or so. And all the other fish that I got at the same time as him have started to die off, probably from older age? And it’s just. I really don’t wanna loose Menma, my first fish but I realize that’s impossible so I wanna breed him.
Which leads us back to the problem that he isn’t interested in the ladies at all
the ladies have come up to him but Menma doesn’t even acknowledge them. I love him regardless but it would really be nice to have SOME offspring.
My boy is gay but I want his babies.
Any tips?

(there’s a couple male fry which aren’t big enough to go into the male tank tho. My glo zebra tetras eat all of the older fry I’ve tried to put in the male tank so yeah. But they’re too big for the juvenile tank so. I put them in the female tank till they’re a bit bigger.)
